For example I never thought of Bennie Joppru as a bust ? He was just incredibly unfortunate because of repeatedly suffering season-ending injruies. And the guy didn't even have an injury history in college before the Texans drafted him.

While it's primarily semantics, Bob did describe it as a "bust of a draft pick." I would say that any pick in the first 4 rounds which virtually never gets on the field (for whatever reason) is a "bust of a draft pick." To me, that's not saying anything negative about the player, it's just acknowledging that the Texans got nothing out of a draft pick which should reasonably be considered to contribute.
